We analyze quantum quenches in integrable models and in particular we determine the initial state in the basis of eigenstates of the post-quench Hamiltonian. This leads us to consider the set of transformations of creation and annihilation operators that respect the Zamolodchikov–Faddeev algebra satisfied by integrable models. We establish that the Bogoliubov transformations hold only in the...

We report on nonlinear interaction of solid Fe with intense femtosecond hard x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) pulses. The experiment was performed at the CXI end- station of the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) by means of high- resolution x-ray emission spectroscopy. The focused x-ray beam provided extreme fluence of ~10⁵ photons/Ų. Two-photon absorption leading to K-shell hollow atom...

We investigated with synchrotron x-ray diffraction and reflectometry the formation of structural domains in the near-surface region of single crystalline SrTiO₃ (001) substrates with Y0.6Pr0.4Ba₂Cu₃O₇/La2/3Ca1/3MnO₃ superlattices grown on top. We find that the antiferrodistortive cubic to tetragonal transition, which occurs at...

An X-ray reflectivity theory on the determination of the density profile of a molecular liquid under nanometre confinement is presented. The confinement geometry acts like an X-ray interferometer, which consists of two opposing atomically flat single-crystal mica membranes with an intervening thin liquid film of variable thickness. The X-rays reflected from the parallel crystal planes (of known...

A silane (tetrakis(trimethylsiloxy)silane) has been confined within a space of a few molecular diameters (9 Å) between two atomically flat opposing mica membranes. The liquid's electron density profile along the confinement direction has been determined by synchrotron X-ray reflectivity for film thicknesses of 8.58 and 11.22 nm. We find the liquid's molecules to be strongly layered at layer...

Multiple scattering theory based on a cluster model is used to simulate full-hemispherical X-ray photoelectron diffraction measurements in order to verify how state of the art multiple scattering simulations are able to reproduce the experiment. This approach is applied to the Cu(1 1 1) surface for two different photoelectron kinetic energies. Differences and similarities between single and...
